Default Internet getting slower?

Is it me?

I think the internet has definitely been getting slower over recent weeks or is it just my connection!

Nope it's not just you, ours has been rubbish the past weekish. But then again my laptop is on it's last legs so that could be why.

I'm with BT and I have to say my connection is seriously fast - did a speed test and I'm getting between 6500kbps and the full 8000kbps download - which is awesome, and between 370 to 440kbps upload

No, its not just you, I have noticed it over the last couple of weeks or so too. We have recently upgraded our router so I did quiz my hubby over it whether it was that, but the signal seems to coming through as it should. Some weeks ago our ISP sent us notification that it will be upgrading our internet speed in the coming months, so I jested that perhaps they are deliberately slowing it down, so that we'll be mega-impressed when the new speeds are installed!!

We're on a meagre 4mb, so here's hoping they'll give us a faster speed soon! How did you test your speed Ray?
